Dear Backcountry Permit Applicant:

Please be aware that the formatting for the permit itinerary is poor.  This
is the result of an old DOS permit program being copied into a Windows
format.  The itinerary confirms reservation of the campsites listed.  Some
of the sites listed may indicate that they are full.  They are only full
because your reservation makes them full.  The last day on the permit is an
exit point.  It is not a campground and it can be changed when you get to
the park should you decide to exit at a different point.  Please pay
particular attention to dates on the itinerary as they may vary based upon
earliest/latest dates you indicated on your application.

We are pleased to inform you that we were able to confirm your request for
the following itinerary:

·   First Choice: __x____
·   Second choice: ______
·   Alternate itinerary (minor changes as noted on your application):
__x____
·   Alternate itinerary (completely different itinerary for the dates you
have listed: ______

Please review the following instructions carefully.

1.      The enclosed itinerary is not a valid permit.  You must pick up
your permit in person, no sooner than 24 hours in advance of trip departure
and no later than 10 a.m. on the day of departure.  Any permit that is not
picked up by 10 a.m. on the day of departure will be canceled and campsites
made available for other visitors to enjoy.

2.      A backcountry camping fee of $4.00 per person, per night for
persons age 17 and over will be charged at the time of permit issuance.
Persons age 9 thru 16, as well as Golden Age and Golden Access cardholders,
will be charged $2.00 per person, per night.  Persons age 8 and under are
free.  The fee is payable via cash, check, money order, or credit card
(Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express).  The Visitor Reception
Centre at Waterton Lakes National Park can not accept cash payments.  Fees
are only payable via credit card.

3.      Permits must be picked up at one of the following designated
backcountry permit issuing stations
during the hours listed below.  To avoid long lines, permits can be picked
up the day before your
trip is to start.   To speed processing, please remember to bring your
itinerary and vehicle license
information.  You can choose the closest and most convenient station to
your entry point.  (Reminder:  the
average time to obtain permits and view the "Backcountry Video" is
approximately 30 minutes).  Permits will
be issued up to 30 minutes before closing.

4.      Glacier National Park is a dynamic resource where natural events
and conditions are unpredictable.  There is a possibility that trail and
campground closures, campground condition, natural events (such as fires,
aggressive animals, etc.) or other NPS management actions may render a
particular itinerary impossible.  In the event that this occurs, every
effort will be made to provide you with an alternate itinerary.  THERE IS
NO GUARANTEE THAT YOUR ROUTE WILL BE PASSABLE OR ITINERARY AVAILABLE WHEN
YOU ARRIVE.  YOUR $20 ADVANCE RESERVATION FEE IS A  NON-REFUNDABLE
PROCESSING FEE.

5.      CANCELLATION POLICY:  In the event that you decide/need to cancel
your trip, PLEASE notify the Park by calling our automated voice system
(406)-888-7900 (24 hours a day).  Canceled reservations will allow other
visitors the opportunity to utilize your vacated campsites.

6.      REFUND POLICY:  Upon successful permit processing, you're $20.00
advance reservation fee becomes non-refundable (as noted in the Backcountry
Guide)

7.      If your trip begins at Goat Haunt USA (Coded GSE on your itinerary
below) please be aware that you must be either a U.S. or Canadian citizen
or  U.S. Legal Resident Alien and that you must provide proof of U.S. or
Canadian citizenship.  Proof of citizenship can be in the form of either a
birth certificate and photo ID or a valid passport.

Please remember, once in the backcountry you must follow your permit
itinerary.  Being off your itinerary can result in a fine.  We hope that
you will have a memorable backcountry experience in Glacier National Park.
